Interest? Rotary air vents
 
2 Attachment(s)
So I came up with this idea to replace the factory air vents with something a little more.... rotary. So a few CAD designs later I ended up with this. It's 3-D printed and made out of strong & flexible laser sintered nylon plastic. It has a matte finish but can be primed and painted to give it a glossy look. I'm gonna toy around with some different paints to get just the right finish. If there was enough interest I might consider making some for sale.

That's pretty sweet dude, does it rotate in the sleeve or is it fixed in place?

That is pretty slick! I have a FB, but if I had an SA, I'd be in for a pair! Well done!

It fits the early model FB interiors, the photos are from an '82 :) I will be developing bits for all models in the near future if this takes off.

It bevels and moves like the stock piece, it doesn't spin within the sleeve though

I will be hosting them through a website called Shapeways, they handle all the printing and shipping and their price is $38 a piece. I still need to make a couple changes to the part but once they are fine tuned I will have them up for sale.

Nicely done!

Wow that is amazing! I am so envious of the SA interior - super sexy curves. I'd definitely get a set if i had the dash for it.

I'm going to investigate S3 vents tho - mine are busted and need replacing.

3D printing FTW!

JAFARX7 06-07-13 01:37 PM
My dashboard is out , so hurry up. I want them!

DreamInRotary 06-07-13 07:15 PM
I'm S3 interior (84-85), but if I was S2 or S1 (79-83) I'd be all over these!

CaptainKRM 06-08-13 01:16 PM
awesome work, if i still had my SA i would beg you to take my money

Super cool. Most incorporations of the rotor that people try to add to rx7s end up looking cheesy to me.. love the sleeper factor of this mod..youd really have to look to notice

hectik1 06-09-13 10:47 PM
I would absolutely buy a set!
